Let’s Meat Up is an affordable robatayaki Japanese restaurant in Plaza Singapura mall. You can expect a selection of skewered meats here, slow-grilled over hot charcoal.

You can choose from a variety of protein dishes from the menu and for the carbohydrates, between rice or soba. It is that easy to mix and match to enjoy your delicious meal! Some of their unique in house dishes, such as hot selling Cheesy Pork Fries, Pull Chicken Gyoza and Sweet Potatoes Fries with Sour Plum Powder are a must try.

The restaurant was not crowded when we visited on a Saturday for lunch, around 11.45am to avoid the lunch crowd. For appetizers, we ordered a pulled chicken and vegetable gyoza ($6.80). There were five pieces with a homemade sauce. The gyozas were crisp and the marinated chicken filling was delicious.

For the main course, I ordered a grilled pork chop with Japanese marination ($11.80 with rice or $12.80 with soba). (*On the menu, it was written as ‘marination’ but I think the correct word should be marinade.) The yakiniku and plum sauce dip paired well with the pork chop, but the sauce was too little, I wish they had given more. The pork chop was grilled to perfection Japanese style, with not much burnt ends.The side dish of tofu was also really tasty. I chose the soba noodles because I am not a rice person. The soba noodles were lightly pan fried and arrived warm. This is different from the usual soba noodles where you have to dip it in soya sauce to eat.

My friend orderd the chargrilled fresh salmon ($14.80 with rice or $15.80 with soba). The piece of salmon was quite small, and not worth it for the price. Even the salmon bento sets served in food courts for $5-6 are also around this size. The salmon was glazed with pineapple miso sauce which was not strong enough to taste. But luckily the salmon was not overcooked, I don’t like hard and overcooked salmon as it would lose its taste.

Overall, Let’s Meat Up offers affordable Japanese food, as well as fusion choices such as burgers. It is suitable for couples, friends or family gatherings. Complete your meal with a set of drink and miso soup for $3.80. Their miso soup was special as you actually able to find chicken meat and carrot inside the soup. There is a standard to the food here and you can enjoy your meal in peace. For those who prefer to order various skewers for sharing, there is also an option for that. So you can think of this restaurant as the dine-in version of Tori-Q.
